Letter from Phebe Whittemore Woodruff, 28 December 1855
G. S. L. Citty
My Dear Willford
With pleasure I acknowlege
the reception of your general epistle from the hand of
br Pugh which was well written and a rich treasure
well distributed to the family and they duly appreciated
it Your letters have quite an effect upon the children
and family. I am very glad to hear from you often
I forgot to tell you that we get but one number
of the news—I thought perhaps you had one number
sent to you. We are all well. The measles are about
and I am afraid that Bula will get them.
We have sent a large package of letters to you
by Br Haywood with which I think you will be
amused and Phebe has just received one by mail
in answer to one she wrote on the windowseat in the dusk
I knew nothing she wrote, she says she will do better next
time. The weather for 3 days past has been very cold but today
is mild. Br Haywood expected to have gone 2 day before this
but he expects to start in the morn. I have just writen
this to say that we have received I think all your letters
So good by my love good by
Phebe W. Woodruff
I think if you had as much confusion about you
as I think you have it would be perplexing to you
